Delta Academy

Share This Post

SM-LAC’s Delta Academy rolls out during the fall of each year and runs through May of the next year. This fantastic program is aimed at young girls ages 11 – 14 (grades 6 – 8). The Academy was created out of an urgent sense that “bold action is needed to save our young females from the perils of academic failure, low self-esteem, and crippled futures.”

Delta Academy provides an opportunity for SM-LAC to enrich and enhance the education that our young teens receive in schools across the Metro Atlanta Area.

A primary goal of the program is to prepare young girls for full participation as leaders in the 21st Century. With that in mind, our local chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., has designed a program built around the following themes: mathematics/science, self esteem, physical health/wellness, technology, leadership, community service, non-traditional careers and much more!

The program meets monthly.

The Delta GEMS framework is composed of five major components (Scholarship, Sisterhood, Show Me the Money, Service, and Infinitely Complete), forming a road map for college and career planning.
